APPLE PRODUCERS
New Farm Bill Provides For
Experiments In Making
Sugar From Orchard
Product Relief Needed
Meteorological Report
By John L. Wheeler
( AP Northwest Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, April 36. AP
Pacific northwest apple growers, con
cerned now by diminished foreign
market and low domestic prices,
may rind a prosperous future In the
sugar Industry,
Startling as It may appear at first
glance, agricultural experts assert
the plan has a sound basis.
Sugar production from apples may
be one of the numerous by-products
of the fruit studied If and when
the government establishes a re
search laboratory.
The new farm bill authorises the
establishment of laboratories "each

ducers of Virginia, West Virginia.
Maryland and Pennsylvania, haa rec
ommended that one be devoted to
studies of Its product.
Burpuftfte Beets
"Experienced chemists In the su
gar Industry have assured us," ' an
official of the Appalachian group
said, "that the apple has tremend
ous possibilities as a source of sugar
that It equals or even surpasses
sugar beets commercially.'
To Washington and Oregon, with
their abundance of apples, and Utah
and Idaho, with an equal abundance
of sugar beets, any move In the dl-
growers would be of far-reaching 1m- f
porta ncc In tho Pacific northwest, j
. High production costs and low J
prices have made apples a more or '
Jess "troublesome" crop the past few
years. There have been great sur
pluses and for the most part the
farmers have ended "In tho red."
Finances Nought.
Even today representatives of
Washington's heavy producing dis
trict of Wcnatchee are In Washing
ton seeking federal eld In financ
ing their next crop. The going has
been slow and their problems many
because the farmers are not In a
position to assume any share of the
production cost. If they can raise
about a third of tho cost from some
other rederal agency, the farm credit
administration has agreed to put up
the remaining two-thirds. I

Apples Major Crotu.
The apple growers argue that ap-
pies are a major crop" as evidenced
by the annual surpluses.
The growers made no suggestions
as to a site for the apple laboratory,
merely suggesting that such a re
search unit be set up to study pos
sible apple by-producta.
